Snapped my seat release cable, can't find the part for it

[SnowDrifter]

Mechanism froze, I snapped my cable where indicated on the picture. My google-fu is forever terrible and I'm having difficulties finding a replacement.

Also: Fingers crossed I can get the thing unfrozen. Best I can tell it's frozen at the cam where the cable attaches to the seatback. Known issue of anything I should go in there on? Or just wait for my penetrating oil to work and toss some grease on it

Little necro bump. Kind of forgot about this until I had to fold my seats down. Still unable to find the thing

Second row bench, driver's side? What year?

@SnowDrifter,

Go to gmpartsdirect.com, enter your VIN or select year/make/model
>Body
>Rear Seat Components
>scroll down to the parts with the description “2ND ROW SEAT, DRIVER SIDE, 60%”
Grab that part number and buy it there, or shop Amazon, eBay Motors, wherever.

Here’s what I see (part # lucky 13) but you’ll want to verify it for your exact truck.



Hope that helps.

Thought I saw a YouTube somewhere that showed using a cable clamp to make the repair

Depends on where it's broken. There was a similar thread here about a month ago for the passenger side cable.

EDIT: Not sure if this helps.

That looks like it, thanks!

Unfortunately, due to the location of the break, it's not anything I can fix. The zinc(?) end where it connects to the seat snapped in two
